Just a quick question about Hold Up Ball instructions.
I am playing a 4-2-3-1, possession-style tactic when I'm playing against teams who will set-up very deep against my team. When I notice that I need more creativity from a deeper position/my CMs are finding a lot of time on the ball, I'll play one of my normal AMs as a DLP(s) in the CM position. Now, as the players I have for this are quite weak (i.e. David Silva or Samir Nasri), will HUB be a negative instruction for them (i.e. getting dispossessed easily)? Or would they be able to use their intelligence/agility/balance to hold onto the ball from deeper while looking for a dangerous pass?
I've been taking off the HUB instruction thus far, but was wondering if anyone had any input on using it with these sort of players/in this scenario.
